I am in touch with only one bestfriend in grade school (when I saw her during my college ojt) and 3 of my high school chums. Now, because of yahoo groups and friendster, I came to interact again with my college classmates who I now consider my friends. Way back in college, we’re not really close. I only keep few trusted friends back then.

I keep in touch with my best friend mostly through sms since she is in Chicago and very busy working as a nurse who doesn’t have time to send email. With my elem and HS classmates, we have an online group for photos and announcement purposes. We also email each other through that site.

Thank you for sharing your story about your best friend Rowena.

My closest friends have migrated abroad and its been decades since we saw each other. I have developed new friendships through the years and I have learned to cherish them. Blogging has also given me very good friends and we do get together from time to time. But the best friend I ever had is my wife. Now nothing beats that.

hi noems! greetings from L.A. yes, I think about my grade school best friend a lot. in fact, i am praying that I find her here on this trip. she dropped out of sight and the last time i saw her was ten years ago, here also in L.A. it would certainly be a miracle if i finally found her again. glad you and rowena hooked up!

hi! it’s so nice to hear you have communication again with your old bestfriend. nakakatouch yung story niyo. kahit ilang years na yung lumipas, you still found each other and become friends again. i hope the same thing can happen to me too.

I don’t know if it’s the coming holidays or what, but my oldest best friends have been re-surfacing and nothing beats the feeling when we re-connect. One of them found me through Friendster and we’re planning on a girls-only trip next year when she comes home from abroad.

My oldest friend is one I’ve had since Kindergarten. Yep, we’re still “barkada” to this day. I also have a grade school bff and we are still very very tight. And I have a college best bud who is probably my true soulmate and ninong of my kids too. I guess it’s pretty obvious that I like to keep my longtime friends for keeps

I’ve known my GS best friend since we were five years old. We attended different HS but we were roomates during college although we attended different schools. We keep in touch even if we are on different parts of the world. I visited her in NY just recently.

I also have a HS bestfriend. She was my maid of honor during my wedding. I don’t remember having a single fight with her (also with my GS best friend). Unfortunately, she had a tragic death almost two years ago.

I have few close friends (from school and previous work). I see to it that I keep in touch with them.

I do. Dennis actually stayed last Saturday night into Sunday morning as he ransacked my CD collection for CDs to burn into his iTouch. He was a groomsman at my wedding.

It surprises me that I still keep in touch with my grade school friends – Dennis being one of the closer ones – but I think it helps me stay grounded. Knowing someone for more than 20 years and keeping in touch with them, after all, can really jolt a person back to his roots on a regular basis.
